THE TARIFF.

Arguments for and Against the House Measure.

MR. WILSON COMPLETES HIS SPEECH.

Be Is Followed by Mr*"Barrows ou Be* half or the Opposition Geo* Black's Championship of the Wilson Bill.

HEARD BY BIO CROWD,'.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—Tuesday was a field day in the house for the tariff. The galleries were thronged all day and the floor crowded. Eaoh side put forth its most brilliant orators for the day session. Mr. Wilson (dem., W. Va.). chairman of the ways and means coramitte, completed his speech begun Monday, and Mr. burrows (rep., Mich.) opened the debate for the republicans with a three-hour reply. Gen. Black (dem., 111.) and Mr. 'Hopkins ,rep., Ill:) followed. Tho good points of all the speakers were liberally applauded by the respective partisans. At the evening session Mr. Haines, (dem., (N. V.), In the name of the collar and cuff industry, fired the first shot into the Wilson bill. Ho displayed a gigantic petition, signed by 67,000 persons, protesting against the collar cuff schedule, declaring that If it were to become a law It would ruin this great industry,

Workmen Forced to Sign Petitions. At 11-.15 tho house resolved itself into committee of the whole for the consideration of tha tariff bill and Mr. Wilson resumed his speeoh. He continued the thread of hi* {argument, presenting his side of the case in forceful lun guage. His remarks were oi'teu interrupted by democratic applause, but otherwise he was allowed to proceed until he created something of a stir when he referred to the fact that the protests against the pending bill were largely inspired by the power of capital, whioh directed, forced and frightened employes to sustain the protected industries.

Calls on AJ1 Democrats for Support. Mr. Wilaon's peroration was forcible and eloquent He began witli a reference to the legend which he said had always been inscribed on the democratic bannert "Equal rights to all and •pecial privileges to none." The people had brought the democratic party into power on the broad principle of equal justice to alL He said: "The democratic party raises itself as one man, takes up this great cause, plants its standard hers to sink or swim, survive or perish, that the democratic party may contlnue In power. We will plant the banner here. We mean to have a fight and we will call every true believer in democracy to rally to our side. Let us call upon the Amorlcan people The silent masses, tbo farmers, scattered, unable to organize, who plod their way under the burdens of taxation. Our petition boxes are filled with protests of the trusts and combinations of. this country. Let us be true to our faith. Let us go forward until we make this a country where every man shall see tho gateway of opportunity opening before him, where every man shall Bee before him the opportunity to rise to Buch influence, to such prosperity as his own merits justify, not weighted down with burdens of taxation. Let us labor for a country free to all. equal to all, with opportunity planted in every home, In every humbie fireside in the land."

Burrows Replies.

Mr. Burrows (rep., Mich.) rose to reply to Mr. Wilson in opposition to the measure. He declared that the decline in public revenues during this fiscal year was not attributable to any defect in \he McKinley tariff law, but rather to the general derangement and prostration of business throughout the country. He continued: "The ascendency of a political party pledged to the destruction of our protective polloy has not only crippled and suspended tho operation of our domestic manufacturers, but the lmporter of foreign fabrics naturally curtails his Importations ia the hope of seour Ing their admission into our markets upon the favorable conditions. I confidently assert that if the election of 18*3 had resulted in the retention of the republican party in power, accompanied as it would have been with the as* suranoe of continuance of the American P0U07 of protection, the effect upon the publio reve. nuo, as well as general prosperity of the country, would have been entirely reversed."

Benefits of the McKLnlej Law. Mr. Burrows then prooeeded to enumerate the benefits whioh had aocrued to the country from the workings of the tariff bill of 1890. Among them were the creation of hundreds of new industries, enlarged employment and Increased wages for workingmen, cheapening of the cost of protected articles to the consumer, increase of foreign trade, large excess of exports over imports and added vigor to our domestic trade.

Cause of the Industrial Depression* Mr. Burrows continued: "The general paralysis of business throughout the country comes solely from the ascendency ot a political party pledged to the repeal ot the aot ot lfM and the substitution therefor ot a tariff divested ot all protective features. "This Industrial depression osme not as the result ot existing tariff rates, but from an apprehension (It seems not to hare been we 11 founded) that these rates were to be so modified as to overthrow and destroy our proteotlve polloy, exposing our domestlo manufacturers to a rulnou« foreign competition and Inaugurating in this oountry an era of free trado wlthall its attendant evils."

The Wilson Bill.

Mr. Burrows compared the tariff plank of the last democratic platform with the South Carolina ordinance of nullification, and declared that the bill now under consideration, If it should beepme a law, would prove disastrous to the interest® involved, and In *o far as it seeks to redeem the pledget, it la either a confession of error or an exhibition of cowardice. The transfer of 187 articles from the dutiable list to the free list was a free donation to foreigners, and from an examination of the list of articles thus transferred the interests of the farmer aeemed to have been selected for special aaaanlt and destruction, as nearly one-half of the Items embraced In this proposed transfer were the products of domestic husbandry.

Want Work* Mot Lower lntlef». Mr. Burrows then quoted from leading authorities as to the advantage of specifio duties. He added: "Starving families, olutohlng for the last morsel of food, cannot be lulled. Into forgetfulBess ot praaeot misery by the annonnoemant of lower •& valorem duties on tbe necessaries of Ufa. Tramping the strteta, out of employment,

ITie laboring people ot this country ask not lower ad valorems, but work. Thoy prefer high ad valorems, constant employment and abundant wages to low ad valorems, Idleness and want."

Mr. mack Speaks.

Mr. Burrows spoke for about three hours, lie was followed by Gen. J. C. Black (dem.. 111.). Mr. Black referred to Mr. Burrows' picture of dire disaster in this country and paid the suffering depicted by him existed after thirty voars of laws written by his own party. Not a law has been placed on the statute books by the democratic pavty since 1800. Tho democratic party's responsibility for ttie laws came only with this congress. "Before we took charge," said he, "tho present condition of affairs had begun. If that condition is due to existing law you cannot say we did it So far as the law is responsible for the present conditions it is the law of the high protective tariff."

Gen. Black proceeded to discuss the conditions of the agricultural classes, who are now, ho said, borne down by the lowest prices since records have been kepi. Tn referring to the state of affairs antecedent, to the inauguration of the protective policy he declared that no publio and little private indebtedness existed then.

THE WORLD'S .FAIR FIRE.

The Loss to Exhibitors Will Not Kxceed •50,001). CHICAGO, Jan. 10.—Nothing remains to mark the spot where the Casino, the Peristyle and Music hall stood but a few charred timbers, blackened stumps of piles and bent and twisted iron work.

As viewed from the outside Manufactures building showed but little indication of having been visited by fire. On the west side no sign of damage was to bo seen beyond a gap in the clere story 600 feet in length. On the east side the gap in the clere story was SOO feet longer than on the west side, while a blackened hole In the cornice 100 feet' in length showed where the fire had made another breaoh.

But inside there were abundant evidences of a fire. Tbe floor of the space occupied by the French and British sections was covered with water, slush, ice, and the sediment left by chemical fire extinguishers an inch deep. Paoking cases soaked with water and ooated with ice were scattered about in wild confusion. Exhibiters with the'. packers picked their way through the puddles trying to ascertain the extent of their loss. They were much gratified to find this was not so great by half as it had been estimated the night before.

The total loss to exhibitors will not exceed (50,000, $45,000 of which will fall on the French section. The countries having goods in the building, the number of oases, their value and the loss, all estimated, for none of the exhibitors were able to give exact figures, will be found in the following table:

Dirootor General Davis expressed the sentiments of many when he said: "It is but the beginning of the end. The perfeotlou has gone from the Court of Honor, and I look for a general acquiesence on the part of the public In the total demolition of our dream."

The question "Who will pay the loss?" is answered in various ways. The French exhibitors declare that the exhibition company is responsible and talk of entering suit Collector Clark said that the government was not responsible for a cent and an exposition official said that tHe exposition was not respohsible. Insurance policies expired with the fair. Some of tho exhibits were reinsured, but the goods In the French section carried no insurance.

FHE LATTER'S PROPOSAL REJECTED.

lite Hawaiian President Tell* Why the Provisional Government Will Not Surrender i*v*la»d 1)U*

v.

pleased with Willi*.

LATEST FROM BAWAU.

VICTORIA, C., Jan 10.—Minister Thurston, the envoy of the provisional (government to the United States, will return to Washington at once, where his services will be much needed. The Hawaiian government keeping the answer of Dole to Willis' demands a secret until it shall have had time to roach the president. The following summary, however, has been obtained from good authority:

Dole begins by noting that ibis is the firs official communication this government has had intimating in any way the polloy of Presldent Cleveland toward Hawaii. By no aotlon of this government has any matter connected with the late revolution beeu submitted to the authority of the United States. This is oarefully argued. No intimation has ever been made to the provisional government of anything having bsen done or considered in the premises ^until the alleged conclusion of the president now presented by Minister Wlllla An exhaustive resume is given of the series of polltioal struggles loading up to the revolution. The loside history of the at* tempted revolution of 1890 Is then recited, and of Lllluokalani's participation therein.

Troop* Did Not Assist.

Dole denounces in tbe strongest termB the falsehood that Stevens was ever asked to have hiB forces assist in the revolution or that he. ever did sa The government disclaims having ever authorised Damon or any other person to make terms for the queen's surrender, aud denies that he ever reported or waB asked to report suoh terms. Damon made those terms on his own responsibility. Never beforeor since the revolutlon did the members of the oommlttee of safety confer with Stevens about the overthrow of the government

Will Not Surrender.

The provisional government Is responsible only to those who constituted and are now maintaining lt4n power. It is amenable to no foreign power on earth. It has always been faithful to its constituents, and by no acts or Intimation has over offered to submit Its rights to the United States or any other power. For these reasons this government must refuse to consider the proposition of Minister Willis. No allusion Is made by Presl* dent Dole to Willis' appeals to their patriotIsm and moral sense nor to terms of amnesty secured from the ex-queen.

Cleveland Dissatisfied with Willis. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. President Cleveland is said to be very much dissatisfied with the action taken by Mr. Willis. It was the understanding that in view of the additional instructions sent out to him by the Corwin he would take no further steps in the line of his original instructions until congress had decided whether that was the wisest course. The president clearly intended that congress should determine the line of action. Inasmuch as his original plan had been .checked and It was presumed that Minister Willis would have discretion enough to stay further proceedings until a new policy could be adopted.

THE ELECTION BILL.

of

The Senate Postpones Consideration the Kepeal Measure. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—The session of the senate Tuesday did not develop that Interest members anticipated. The consideration of the federal election bill has not begun according to the programme of Senator Qray (dem., Del.) as no one seemed prepared to speak, and after some colloquy between Senators Chandler (rep., N. H.), Gray and Oorman (dem., Md.) over the method of procedure the measure finally went over until next Monday.

Even the Hawaiian situation failed to elicit the debate that was promised. Senator Chandler's resolution calling for an opinion as to the constitutionality and regularity of the appointment of Commissioner Blount by President Cleveland was called up and pressed for passage, but after Senator Sherman (rep., O.) had expressed his opinion that its passage would be disrespectful to the foreign relations committee, which is already considering the aubject, Senator Chandler, finding his own party not a unit in support of his proposition, promptly withdrew it

Senator Coke (dem., Tex) called up tho house joint resolution authorising the secretary of the treasury to permit the owners of cattle and horses transporting them Into Mexico to reimport the same into the United States at any time within twelve months of this date. It was passed.

SON FOUND IN THE RUINS.

Marietta's Murder Mystery Grow. Deeper by tbe Ulsoovery of a Charred llody, MAHIBTTA, O., Jan. 10.—The triple murder of the Saner family deepens in mystery. The son, supposed to be missing, was found in the ashes of the barn and fully identified by his watch and other articles, though burned beyond recognition. The evidence reveals a foarful struggle. The barn is about 400 feet away and there are come blood stains between the house and barn, as from bleeding wounds. There is a growing suspicion that the son killed his father and mother and then rushed to the barn, setting it on fire and killing himsr.lf. An empty pistol was found near him. The family were wealthy and In telligent and considered happy, but the son was an Inveterate reader of yellowbacked literature. In the absence of better clew the conviction is that he may have committed the deed.

INCOME TAX IN OTHER LAND8.

8ome Interesting Figures Submitted by i.onyressmnu Bryan. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—Representa­

tive Bryan, of Nebraska, on behalf of the commlttce on ways and means, haa submitted an elaborate statement concerning the various systems of income tax in operation in Europe. The statement is a result of corre pondence between the state department and United States consuls located abroad. In order to systematize the Information, nine questions were sent to the consuls concerning the rate of the tax, the exemptions, the amount realized, the manner of assessment, punishment imposed, etc.

Great Britain is shown to have imposed an income tax continuously since

1843.

The rate of tax has varied

from year to year, being below 3 pence on the pound sterling. The various states of the German empire impose Income taxes, but the em pire has no such taxes. Prussia has had an Income tax since 1851. The tendency of late years in Prussia has been to reduce the tax on small incomes and increase it on great ones.

The grand duchy of Baden has imposed an Income tax within recent years. The rate is 2 per cent, on all Incomes over 600 marka The entire yield for 18B1 was 6,700,000 marka, Bremen has an income tax varying from year to year. Last year the rate was 4 per cent, with an addition for incomes over 000 marka

Austria collected about I10,00C,000 last year from an income tax. The tax is divided into three classes, according to the amount of the income The rat* varies from 8){ per cent up to 30 per cent, according to the amount of the income. The Italian government.realized 946,000,000 from its income tax last year. The rate Is 12 per cent and covers Incomes derived from all sources, except from lands and buildlnga
